Austin may be similar in size, but it is in a centralized location to 3 other major metropolitan areas within easy driving distance. It's been an unbelievably good location for tech firms to locate. It's also a cultural hub in a way SLC probably never will be.
Nashville and Austin are both in states that are as or more conservative than Utah, so in this particular instance that can't really explain anything.
